It has 2 guns, that's not that many. You are looking at engine intakes I think. Great model but it will be hard to maneuver at that size. I'll probably buy one and put it front and center on my shelf lol. It's too much to hope for rules that would justify transporting that thing very often. Seriously nicer looking then I imagines with the dual cockpits.

I REALLY want better talos rules, please just make them jump MC's.

You are of course, forgetting the various missiles and the mines it drops off... (on the underbelly)

We were discussing a DE flyer which carried Talos on mag clamps and dropped them with some grav tech

Lol. It'd be even better if there was some sort of webway portal thing (similar to Necron Night Scythe) for them to deploy from

Unfortunately, DE has no access to such advanced technology.

You mean apart from the handheld device?

Uhm, did the one who took that picture happen to be able to read the hint of/as to what's coming next? (would be greatly appreciate, of course! ^^)

More models will be released next like a Voidraven.
I guess the next codex will come out in the first week of Oct.

The bomber looks very cool. Hard to tell by the pic, but it looks pretty big (wingspan), doesn't it? Gonna require its own tray or case, if so.

I'm pretty sure it's larger than a Razorwing Jetfighter. And it's awesome!

Can't wait to get one and keep making "whoosh" noises in the movement phase...

Looks to be the same size as Crimson Hunter.

I wonder how many of its wargear and special rules will contain the words "dark" or "void"

Here you go folks.

Huh. Well at least there's a model now.

I wonder if it will have rules that make it worth taking, or justify an expected $82 price.

A ravager nerf might be coming, but even with a ravager nerf, and a void raven buff, if they are both competing for AT in the Heavy Support slot, I doubt most players will change it over.

people have been foaming at the mouth for a bomber dropped WWP since before the 5th codex.

Wyches with their wych weapons were quite good in the previous incarnation of the codex.

They should have their wych weapons back and speed bonus when in charge range say by +2'', since their low armor save could prevent them from charging thanks to overwatch.

It will be interesting to see if GW can craft rules to make half naked T3 6+ save expensive assault troops worthwhile in the age of overwatch and random charge distances. I predict no, which is sad as I have 3 large wych squads that usually get broken up into small haywire units with the rest collecting dust on the shelf.

This is what we almost know so far.
A window of three weeks for DE releases.

I'm forgetting nothing, he was commenting on the image. In the image there are literally two weapons shown. Semantics aside, I really do hope this things cost goes down because in order to arm it with its full payload now it starts reaching riptide costs.

While the Voidraven is nice, it just seems a little underwhelming. Perhaps it's too similar to Razorwing. I might need to see them together for comparison.

In other thoughts, that realm of battle board underneath the magazines is very well painted. It looks almost Gamesworkshop level. Do we have a man on the inside?

Not anymore.

Whoo... It looks really good and stays with the theme nicely.

Also happy to see the comments towards the Voidraven are positive. Hope is not lost.

I think so. The leaks are too regimented. If it was just someone getting an early copy we'd get all the images at once. Instead we get a cover on Monday and then bits of the interior over the next few days.

So we're assuming a deliberate leak then? Seems fair enough. Shame they don't put out more codex teasers though.

While I don't have the new WD this time, I know from a good source that the Codex is indeed released next week, along with Voidraven.

Moreover, the wording in the battle report indicates that pain tokens are now a static effect with different effects automatically gained at the start of the turn depending on what turn number it is. My source says that armywide FnP, for example, is gained at the start of Turn 3.

While the source is reliable, he might have misread something - I am trying to confirm this now.
edit: I am also trying to confirm what's written on the "Next Week" page.

Extreme predictability on one of the player sides is always a good thing in a competitive wargame.

Doesn't sound true though, to me. Can't put my finger on why.

Grot orderly would be a good place for anyone who wanted to see more pictures...including a new archon model in one of the limited edition codices...

ninjaed...remember people we dont want to turn grot orderly into Faeit where he cant post anything any more...putting this crap up here brings us closer to that...

What the heck are you talking about? I reposted with link. That's hardly going to turn him into Faeit.

Savings on the vehicle/troop bundle is nice. Haemonculus Coven Supplement up first makes sense since if they don't change any of the slots wych armies can already be made without adjustments. Looking forward to this. Might have to actually pull my DE out of the bin I got them in and start painting if they inspire me enough and I finish my current project

8th picture down, on the painting page. That is definitely 100% a new Archon model. The current models cape and breastplate are different. He has a name so i am assuming he is a special character? At any rate, he looks much cooler then the current model. Anyway...

New Archon/Special character confirmed.

...Ignore, i am wrong...was hoping this was Sythrac...

Seems that the Voidraven has two different weapon load-outs. One type of weapons looks like super-disintegrators, and I'm assuming the other one is the void lances.

I was thinking the exact same thing, but couldn't be bothered to look up the name The guy had a Huskblade (shown) and a piece of fancy soulstone armour (His armour definitely is fancy) so that would be a good guess. Just didn't want to say so without checking the naming so i didn't look stupid aha
